Welcome to Term 1!

This term out theme will be 'Me and My World' and we will be talking about all of the amazing things we can do! We will be talking about things we like and dislike, and how our families are all special. We will learn to name different parts of our bodies and learn how we explore our world with our five senses. Later on in the term we will observe signs of Autumn and take part in a Harvest Festival. We will read lots of books at school, including 'The Paper Dolls', 'In Every House on Every Street', 'The Little Read Hen', 'So Much', 'My five Senses' and 'Funnybones'. We will be learning outdoors as much as possible, and will visit Lydd Library and the school library  .

In phonics, we are learning our first set of Grapheme-Phoneme Correspondences (GPCs):

s  a  t  p  i  n  m  d  g  o  c  k  ck  e  u  r  h  b  f  l

and we will learn to blend these sounds together to read words and learn to segment them to spell words.

This website will be regularly updated with photos and newsletters so keep checking!
